  1. Covered with ice; also, acted upon by ice; showing the effects of glacial action. Rocky substances which have once been glaciated, if I may thus express the peculiar action of ice upon rocks, viz. the planing, polishing, scratching, grooving, and furrowing of their surfaces, can never be mistaken for anything else. C. F. Hall, Polar Expedition, p. 661. On almost every glaciated surface in Maine may be found isolated drift scratches aberrant both in direction and outline. Amer. Jour. Sci., 3d ser., XXX. 146.
